Highly recommended
Highly recommended for the Pre-17 driving experiences which was fun and also gave me a good understanding and skills for driving. I then went onto having my driving lessons with Lewis who was a fantastic instructor and I recently passed my test first time. I am so pleased. Thank you to everyone at Wrightstart.

The whole experience was pleasantly effortless. Andy was completely professional and had lots of patience. You can ask questions over and over and it doesn’t matter how many times you ask. It was a pleasure to learn with Andy and I passed first time.

A fantastic company
I can't fault this company. The prices are fair and the car is lovely. I love that I could get weekly feed back from my instructor on how I was doing and what I could improve on via their portal. I was really easy to use the app to check my progress. I have just taken my car test and passed first time with only 1 minor. My instructor was Lewis and he was very friendly and put me as ease quickly. He had no problem answering questions and explaining how to do a manoeuvre. The car was lovely to drive very clean and well looked after. I cannot recommend this company enough. Thank you Lewis for your help.

I highly recommend WrightStart. Lewis was a great instructor, he explained everything clearly and was always friendly. The two hour lessons meant I quickly gained confidence driving and I passed first time!

Excellent instructor with great resources
I’ve been to several driving schools and this one easily stood out! Lewis was an excellent instructor and Wright Start has an impressive amount of online resources. I was very nervous before I started at this school, but Lewis was patient with me and good at identifying how I could improve. The online portal is also great - I could track my progress, and he left detailed feedback after each lesson. I also found the theory test practice portal very helpful.

A brilliant instructor
Andy was calm, patient and easy to get along with. Really easy going including through several lockdowns. I was reccomended him from a friend and will certainly be recommending him onwards. Thanks for all your help in getting me passed. Thanks, Ross

Good driving instructor
They gave good teaching and were consistent with organising every meeting.

It was a good experience
It was a good experience, taught me at a nice speed never pushed me too far that it would be unsafe but always knew what my next steps can be. I have no negatives about my experience and would always highly recommend.

Thank you Lewis and WrightStart!
Can’t talk highly enough of WrightStart and especially Lewis as an instructor.
As a nervous learner with a bad prior experience I was blown away with the support, encouragement, and professionalism shown at all times.
Navigating Covid and all the restrictions along the way was never a problem and I always felt safe and reassured.
The value for money of lessons with WrightStart is fantastic; the app and associated feedback, videos, and next steps were key to my success along with the access to theory practice WrightStart provide.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lewis and WrightStart to any learner drivers.

Lewis was a great instructor
Lewis was a great instructor, patient, calm, kind and funny! I felt relaxed and happy driving with him especially as it hasn’t been the easiest time learning to drive with all the restrictions and stopping and starting due to COVID, but he has been great accommodating all the changes. I would recommend him 100%

Great Driving Instructor
Lewis was a great driving instructor would recommend him to anyone. Really enjoyed my lessons and always felt comfortable to ask any questions I had. The pupil portal is also really helpful as it contains information on where you have recently driven in the lesson as well as other things. 10/10
